I keep a latex glove on my golf cart and wear it when I fill up. Keep in in your car as well. Better than paying the extra $.30-$.40 per gallon.

my car specifically requires regular gas...Subaru requires regular gas

I just wear disposable plastic gloves. Not gonna pay $.50 more a gallon for premium

If one is that paranoid about catching germs, perhaps staying home with your blinds shut is called for. Hard to catch the virus if you stay in your own home, using disinfectant hourly.

Agree. How about you just keep paper towels with you and throw away after touching anything. Im certainly not carrying a stick with a hook to open doors as suggested. Nor am I paying more for gas and I have never seen different pumps for diff grades of gas

WHAT???? This is foolishness

Love to see the statistics you have that suggest that fewer people contract covid-19 from the premium pump handle...

Premium gas is a waste of money for any car that doesn't require it...

bring a plastic bag from Publix or WD, put that on your hand when you go to the pump and discard the bag in the trash bucket when you're through filling up

My vehicle recommends regular gas .

And if your car doesn't require premium, you might be damaging your engine by using premium--without enough compression to warrant premium, you could have a carbon build up--follow manufactures guidelines, our cars require a minimum of 91 octane

And , detergent guidelines were changed by the EPA,last fall-now almost all gas is considered Top Tier

If you want more detergent in your gas add a can of SeaFoam every 6K miles

Alternatively, I wear gloves and buy regular. With the money I save, I can buy masks.

WHAT, it all comes out of the same house. Wear gloves, wash your hands, in case you haven't been paying attention.

DecaturFargo 04-09-2020 07:19 AM

Just wear a glove, throw it away and use sanitizer. All it takes is one person positive.

Lindsyburnsy 04-09-2020 07:44 AM

You only need 1 person infected. Wipe the nozzle down before using, or wear gloves and wash your hands. Save your money and buy the type of gas you actually need.

Did you sanitize the bag? Put you hand in a bag that had infected stuff in. Doesn't make sense to me.
